a singer with a big band, such as Count Basie's orchestra. In the 1960s, she
returned to nightclub singing, and appeared frequently on television; one of her
most notable appearances was on the 1966 special Carol Channing and Pearl
Bailey on Broadway.Bailey was named to the U.S. delegation to the
United Nations in 1976, and awarded the Medal of Freedom in 1988. Fine
